This set seems nice, but it might be better if you'd get more of a house for it and less of the other stuff.

Right. A lot more useful to have them in separate sets...

This house will look awesome but i wish it was abit bigger, maybe the =y release some DS rooms

Glad to see Playmobil is releasing more and more steck , everything else pales in comparison  :lol: :lol:

I suppose since its a FAO Schwartz toy it will only be available in the US ..... ???..... :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

 :hissyfit:

10 klickies in total in it... a car, a cart with horses and probably furnishings in the house i can see something in the left window . I think its actually not such a bad price but i cant argue with Rasputin's financial analysis- do these FAO toys carry  a brand premium i wonder ??

Either way i want 4-6 of these houses for my upcoming victorian diorama that will be dedicated to our baby daughter. I am on a mission to get them now  :lol: :lol: :lol:

It should... should... be available at any Toys R Us since they own FAO... and yes, unfortunately any exclusive, anniversary, or FAO toy usually costs more than otherwise... in this case we have all three rolled into one  :lol:
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.

No Toys R Us in Greece   :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

I reckon this set will make it easier to built victorian cities and with its parts available again i guess (  ???) from DS it will be easy to built big , big victorian houses withouth aving to buy the epxensive 5300s, 53005s etc  :love: :love: :love:

Although I complain that it is not as good as it could be, I still need one. Actually, I need a whole flipping room to store my Playmobil. If they keep bringing out more steck I will definitely need to move.

I do not know if this will or will not be released world wide, could be a great feature of a club- the feature of information, and I think this will be a a bigger box but if anybody wants any of these I would be willing to ship them out. It looks like they are not avalable yet and I do not know if it will be in stores.

I kind of compare this set to the recent 3030 - Adventure - Knights* in the knights theme. I bought a few of them and can not remember the price? I thought it was $40 or was it $50. Certainly not close to $100. It has half or more of the contents of this new Victorian set and by my calculations that puts this neww set at about $80-ish

 When bb mentioned the quick loss of the green Victorian car and now this over priced set being the only way to get it in the US it makes me wonder how much we are going to be fleeced now by Geobra  ;)

from TRU

"Product Description
In celebration of FAO's 150th Anniversary, Playmobil has brought back this collectible Victorian City Life edition from its archive. This 342 piece set includes a victorian house complete with furnishings and a horse and buggy."

I wonder what furniture it has ?

it also said it was ready to ship on 8/15/2012

I was hoping to get on the "buy one get 2nd 50% off" sale and free shipping they have right now

Well, TRU does do an awful lot of buy one get 50% off. They have even have had a few Buy 2 Get 1 Free sales. That's an even better deal.  My guess is that these will be on sale alot. I wouldn't worry too much about the cost.
